+
+## Introduction
+Amazon Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK for C/C++ enables native code developers to create or easily integrate application with Amazon Kinesis Video.  
+It contains the following sub-directories/projects:
+* kinesis-video-pic - The Platform Independent Codebase which is the basic building block for the C++/Java producer SDK. The project includes multiple sub-projects for each sub-component with unit tests.
+* kinesis-video-producer - The C++ Producer SDK with unit test.
+* kinesis-video-producer-jni - The C++ wrapper for JNI to expose the functionality to Java/Android.
+* kinesis-video-gst-demo - C++ GStreamer sample application.
+* kinesis-video-native-build - Native build directory with a build script for Mac OS. This is the directory that will contain the artifacts after the build.
+
+## Building from Source
+After you've downloaded the code from GitHub, you can build it on Mac OS using /kinesis-video-native-build/install-script-mac script. This will produce the core library, the JNI library, unit tests executable and the sample GStreamer application. The script will download and build the dependent open source components in the 'downloads' directory and link against it.
+
+### Dependencies
+The build depends on
+* Autoconf
+* Cmake 3.7
+* Bison 2.4
+* Automake
+* xCode (Mac OS) / clang / gcc 
+
+## Open Source Dependencies
+The projects depend on a number of open source components. Running install-script-mac will download and build the necessary components automatically.
+
+### Launching the sample application / unit test
+Define AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID environment variables with the AWS access key id and secret key:
+`export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={AccessKeyId}`
+`export AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID={SecretKeyId}`
+
+### Enabling verbose logs
+Define HEAP_DEBUG and LOG_STREAMING C-defines by uncommenting the appropriate lines in CMakeList.txt
+
+## Release Notes
+### Release 1.0.0 (November 2017)
+* First release of the Amazon Kinesis Video Producer SDK for Cpp.
+* Known issues:
+    * Missing build scripts for Linux-based and Windows-based systems.
+    * Missing cross-compile option.
+    * Sample application/unit tests can't handle buffer pressures properly - simple print in debug log.

+# Kinesis GStreamer Sample Application which is part of the samples published in GitHub!
+
+This is an sample GStreamer Application with Kinesis Video integration.
+
+## Set up
+* Install cmake
+
+```
+brew install cmake
+```
+
+OR from source, if cmake in brew is not 3.7 (Not sure why we need 3.7): https://cmake.org/install/
+
+* Install GStreamer
+
+```
+brew install gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly
+```
+
+* Download dependency repositories
+
+Download the following repositories from GitHub to the same level as kinesis-video-gstreamer-sample-app:
+
+```
+git clone https://git-codecommit.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/kinesis-video-producer
+git clone https://git-codecommit.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/kinesis-video-pic
+git clone https://git-codecommit.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/kinesis-video-native-build
+```
+
+The directory structure should look like:
+
+```
+$ tree -L 1
+.
+├── kinesis-video-gstreamer-sample-app
+├── kinesis-video-native-build
+├── kinesis-video-pic
+└── kinesis-video-producer
+```
+
+## Build the application
+
+```
+cd kinesis-video-native-build
+./install-script-mac
+```
+
+## Run the application
+
+```
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIASAMPLEKEYID AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID=MYSECRETKEYKID ./gst_demo my-stream-name
+```
